TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Relationship between school administrators' reports of parental involvement in school and students' substance use: a national study JO - Journal of child and adolescent substance abuse A1 - Kumar, Revathy A1 - O'Malley, Patrick M. A1 - Johnston, Lloyd D. SP - 269 EP - 281 VL - 23 IS - 5 N2 - This study examines the relationship between student substance use and school-level parental involvement as reported by administrators. Questionnaires were administered to school administrators and 111,652 students in 1,011 U.S. schools. Hierarchical logistic regression analyses conducted on 1998-2003 data from students and administrators indicate significantly lower prevalence of alcohol use among eighth-graders in schools where administrators reported high parental involvement. Overall, administrators' reports of high parental involvement were unrelated to prevalence of substance use among tenth-graders and were associated with higher prevalence of alcohol use among twelfth-graders. Implications and limitations are discussed, along with suggestions for future research.
